Asbestos garage roof removal in Temple Hill
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Common materials are bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes, and typical jobs are block garages and pieces of broken roof.
In Temple Hill, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

How we price garage roof removal
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The size of the job
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- An overall view
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
Each job is priced individually. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
After we have finished:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
FAQs for Temple Hill
Do you cover Temple Hill and the area around Dartford station?
Yes, we cover Temple Hill, including the streets around Dartford station.
My garage in Temple Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

For businesses and landlords in Temple Hill
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Temple Hill must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials, one by one

Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
